OpenWetWare:Poster

From OpenWetWare

Discussion and planning of a representative poster for publicizing OpenWetWare (OWW) at meetings or retreats. Initially, the page just serves to plan a poster for one particular event. Hopefully this poster design could be used again or customized to fit a particular group, lab or institution.

Poster ideas

I like this alot. One way to run the poster would be to have something eye-catching like this up and then have a laptop hooked up to the web in front. So sean (or whoever is there at the time) could take people through the actual site as they explain it. Could also sign people up on the spot :) --JK

This is cute. I would potentially focus more on community pages and less on individual lab pages, though. Offer it up as an easy place to host your lab website, but emphasize the merits of the larger community (it takes a village to raise a grad student?).--Kathleen

yeah, i agree, you could replace the Endy lab page with the protocols page.

Here is version 2. Let me know what you think. This is the 800px version --good for screen quality. I also have one that is 1400x1290px for print. -Jennyn 20:52, 9 February 2006 (EST)

In keeping with the graphical nature of the poster we could just put up their logos? iCampus and CSBi, Biomicro may have their own logo but the homepage is down right now.

Acknowledgements have been added. I made a couple of slight changes also for aesthetic purposes. Please feel free to provide suggestions for additions/deletions, comments, and the such. -Jennyn 19:36, 10 February 2006 (EST)

Synthetic Biology 2.0

I think we should also submit a poster to SB2.0.

Poster Title and Logistics

Title: OpenWetWare: A Wiki Serving the Biological Research Community

Authors: OpenWetWare user community

Abstract:Needs work!

OpenWetWare (http://openwetware.org) is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and ideas among researchers and groups who are working in biology, biological engineering, and other related life science fields. OpenWetWare provides a place for labs, groups, and individuals to organize information and to easily and efficiently collaborate with other community members. OpenWetWare currently hosts websites for labs and groups from institutions across the world, including http://syntheticbiology.org. The site is powered by MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki), the free software package that runs Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia), providing a user-friendly editing interface. We hope that OpenWetWare will lead to greater collaboration among member groups and provide an accurate and useful information portal for the scientific community at large. New members are joining daily, and we are actively trying to expand the community. If you would like access to edit current pages, to help with the creation of new community pages, or to host your lab or group website on OpenWetWare, please email admin@openwetware.org. Please visit openwetware.org to start enjoying the read-only benefits of our community, and read more about the benefits of joining OpenWetWare (http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Why_join%3F).

Austin 16:21, 2 March 2006 (EST): I think we should add that syntheticbiology.org is in fact hosted on OWW and that there's a large synthetic biology community on OWW.

Submitter: Since most of the people who are attending SB2.0 are presenting a poster already. We have two options. Email Jonathan directly and/or submit the abstract under perhaps Drew or Tom's registration. Regardless we need an abstract.

BC 16:27, 2 March 2006 (EST):It might make sense to contact Jonathon directly anyway because the OWW poster might need to be handled differently to most posters, i.e. we'd like it in the abstract book but probably wouldn't want it associated with a particular group or Institute.

Poster: We might want to slightly change the poster for SB2.0 to reflect the presence of the Synthetic Biology community on OWW.

Jennyn 18:52, 2 March 2006 (EST): Do you want me to modify the current poster (above) just use Jen's "real" OWW poster when it is done?

Kathleen 19:49, 2 March 2006 (EST): The meeting is not until May. Maybe we should wait a bit to decide on the format of the poster. It may depend on where it is posted (among all of the other posters or someplace else). For now, I think we need to focus on the abstract because I'm assuming that needs to be submitted soon.
